Seemed only old men where buying the Mustangs and Vettes (exception: Kevin Hart bought his Vette for $750,000!!)

Anyway, being 50, I would never sit in something so plane and mundane as a Mustang. Makes me look and feel older. For nostalgia? or Gargage queen? maybe.

The 2007 Porsche GTS3 RS (orange/black) went for $200K but even for it's age, it exuded youth.

The Z still turns heads and I applaud all the mods people are doing to make them unique.

I predict the bottom is going to drop out of the classic American muscle car scene within the next 10 to 15 years.

The people who will pay big $$ will either be dead or not able to drive anymore.

I loved my old chevelle and could totally see myself getting another someday, but I wouldn’t pay more than 50-60k for a good one, #s matching big block, maybe $100k but wouldn’t want it cause I prefer resto mods or tweaking and building it to my taste, with #s matching 426 hemi cuda for example, you don’t own it, you’re just the car’s current caretaker and you can’t do anything with or to it since it’s so special.

The same could be said for ice cars in general. I wonder if anyone will value them in terms of bringing big $$ in say 2050 when we’ve fully transitioned to electric for at least a decade.

Cliff notes: imo, cars are a terrible investment long term, it’s a commodity that will most likely become not desirable within the next 2 decades.
